WAN Observability for experience-first networking Solution Brief

Challenge

In transport networks, the volume and velocity of telemetry data generated is growing exponentially. This makes the task of gaining insight into the performance of the network and how it impacts end-users increasingly difficult. When problems do arise, detecting and resolving them has become more time-consuming.

Solution

WAN Observability from Juniper Paragon Automation provides highly curated, normalized, and intuitive views of overall network performance and health, and the resource performance KPIs that impact it. Its intuitive dashboards prioritize the highest-impacting KPIs and provide automated notifications when performance thresholds are crossed. Network engineers can quickly uncover problems and their root-causes and resolve them before the end-user is impacted.

Benefits

- Accelerate MTTR by identifying high-priority resource performance issues
- Enhance network and service stability and resilience
- Lower the barrier to adoption for advanced network observability
- Accurately monitor performance versus business intent

For enterprises and service providers, optimizing transport network performance is critical. Whether supporting large, distributed AI workloads, latency-sensitive applications, or consumer services, it’s essential that the underlying infrastructure is healthy and optimally configured. With external factors like power supply and cooling playing a key role in maintaining performance, the range and volume of metrics and KPIs needed to build a complete picture can seem overwhelming.

Network operations teams need to collect, process, correlate, and visualize all this raw data so they can quickly derive actionable intelligence. This applies to root-cause analysis and remediation, and the continuous optimization of WAN infrastructure.

WAN Observability from Juniper^® Paragon provides a simple on-ramp to advanced network insight. Based on a combination of device telemetry and alarms, it provides a single page view of aggregated device, network, interface, and trust health. When combined with Intent-Based Service Orchestration, it automatically configures the performance and fault KPIs, along with alarm triggers, needed to monitor the fulfilment of user intent, with no human intervention. The intuitive UI lets you drill-down to specific domains or devices of interest. Its map view also lets you easily zoom in to specific locations.

The solution provides curated, correlated views of the resource performance KPIs that have the highest impact on your desired business outcomes, so you can avoid the complex, time-consuming process of manually normalizing and correlating your network telemetry data and quickly pinpoint the performance KPIs that matter most.

AI/ML based dynamic thresholding automatically notifies you when any KPI anomaly arises, so you can quickly investigate, identify, and resolve the root-cause before the issue cascades into a high severity user-impacting problem.
